Shao Zhiheng glanced at Gu Annan; his eyes were still fixed on the computer screen, but he too was taken aback by how his expression had turned icy in an instant.
After all these years, no one dared to utter the three words ’Lu Wanwan’ in front of him.
He had been careless just now, almost letting those words slip out.
Shao Zhiheng rolled his eyes, crossed his legs, and stared out the window in annoyance.
Four years ago, following a quarrel, in a need for some peace of mind and due to work, he had gone abroad on a business trip.
By the time he had returned... ha, she actually had a new boyfriend, her childhood sweetheart no less.
At first, he naturally resisted persistently; not even his parents could bend his will, so why would he concede to some pretty boy?
Later, that childhood sweetheart pretty boy was transferred to work in another city, and Xu Yuan followed him, leaving Manchester.
Not so long ago, when she transferred back for work, he couldn’t help but cheaply pay attention to her movements again.
Thinking about it now, he, Shao Zhiheng, truly wasn’t as ruthless as Gu Annan.
To disappear without a trace, to remain indifferent when Xu Yuan had implied to Lu Wanwan about leaving back then.
Pah! He didn’t want to end up as a monk for several years, his functions deteriorating to the point where he couldn’t get aroused by any woman.
How was he to live the rest of his life?!
Ji Shaoyang was only a step away from suggesting he see a doctor.
"Little Momo, can you sit in the front by yourself?"
Lu Wanwan got directly into the back seat, yawning, "It’s okay, he likes the front row, doesn’t like to be cramped with other people."
Little Youyou climbed onto Xu Yuan’s lap, her eyes black and bright like two purple grapes, "Aunt Xu Yuan, I like to be crowded with people, I want a hug!"
Xu Yuan was adorably tearful, "Hug, hug, hug! As long as you want, auntie will hug you!"
Three years ago, she had gone on a business trip with her current ’boyfriend’ to the United States, where she had the chance to meet Lu Wanwan for the first time.
Had it been just her, she truly wouldn’t dare go alone.
If Shao Zhiheng had followed her there and found out that Lu Wanwan had a child, it would have been tremendous.
Back when she knew Lu Wanwan was pregnant, she had urged her not to keep the child, to just let it go.
Being in the United States, studying and working part-time, how could she manage if she also had a child?
But who knew, after pondering for half a month, Lu Wanwan decided to keep the child and then backed out of the abortion surgery at the last moment.
These kinds of things, unless they happen to oneself, it’s impossible to empathize.
Xu Yuan also didn’t know what kind of mental struggle Lu Wanwan had gone through to decide to keep the child during such a difficult time.
But later, she began to feel thankful.
If there were no Little Naibao twins, who knew what Lu Wanwan’s life would have turned into?
When she first lived on her own, she seemed carefree every day, but silently, she had made all the preparations for studying abroad.
Only when she learned of her decision did she realize that Lu Wanwan was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Having the two little ones, although life was exhausting, at least her life had sunshine in it.
Xu Yuan looked at the weary Lu Wanwan, "You should rest too, I’ll call you when we arrive. We’re stuck in a traffic jam now."
The newly built international airport in Manchester was a bit far from the city center, at least an hour’s drive to the house that Xu Yuan had helped her rent.
With the jet lag and fatigue from the long-haul flight, Little Youyou quickly fell asleep in Xu Yuan’s arms, and even Little Momo in the front seat leaned his head to one side.
Lu Wanwan shook her head, "I’ll sleep later; I need to adjust to the time difference as soon as possible since I have work tasks. By the way, who did you see just now?"
